Public bug reported: $ rfkill list
gives me the output 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no which indicates that the wireless network interface is soft blocked and must be unblocked to be used (for example by clicking "Switch-On WiFi" in wicd-client). If we now start wicd-client it will give us the option to 'Switch-Off WiFi' even though it's already turned off.
